Is there something the dealer can do to program my car (a 2012 Focus SE Hatchback) so that when "AUTO" is selected for headlights, it just turns them on anytime of the day and not just at night. I'm finding that it would be nice, so that way the lights are on all the time, and then turn off when the car is turned off, etc.

It already does do exactly what you describe... if it gets dark enough out.

I'm not sure about the precise light threshold but if you're driving on a really cloudy day or drive thru a tunnel, they'll turn on.
